Zwey schöne Lieder

Halbsuter, Hans · 1666 · [Georg Sonnleitner] · 2 pictures

A 1666 German broadside song sheet, printed for singing to a known melody, with two songs about the Battle of Sempach of 1386 and its Swiss heroes, credited to Hans Halbsuter and published by Georg Sonnleitner. The title page centres a woodcut of armoured soldiers in combat beneath a dense black-letter heading, while a second picture is a small scrolled ornamental corner piece of ink-black whorls and tendrils, useful for borders and vignettes.
